if you lead a company, and dont do whats in the best interest of your shareholders, youre getting sued and then you go to prison.

I'd be interested in learning about an case where a CEO goes to prison because he didn't pursue shareholders' interests aggressively enough.
It's idiotic to think that any C-level has to always be doing what will absolutely maximize profits. It's impossible for them to be doing that constantly, all the time.
